| The humble Cabbage White butterfly is another example of a relocated species. Originally from Eurasia, and inadvertently introduced into Quebec in 1860, it is now found throughout North America, as well as Hawaii, Australia and New Zealand. The males have one black sex spot on the forward wing, the females, two. These images are from the Great Swamp and the Delaware and Raritan Canal in New Jersey.
